They will be explained carefully in the next chapter as well as the chemical X. All in all, in this subchapter, a basic idea of what Valona should change on Instagram is discussed. Emoji and hashtags are emphasized in usage, tagline and a trick to track the website link is also added. Timing issue was analyzed through the social media analytics Iconosquare and Simply Measured. In a wider view, Valona would not change into a total- ly new account but more the same image the brand already has, with variations. 32
